Tora are a 4-piece electronic band born in Byron Bay, Australia. The group formed in 2013, fusing plush, layered production and instrumentation with graceful vocals. Tora (Origin; Greek, meaning ‘Now’) have kept up a continual progression since their inception, dropping an array of singles and collaborations, all whilst building a rapidly growing global listenership. Tora have performed at Glastonbury, Falls Festival, Splendour In The Grass, The Great Escape UK and Canadian Music Week. They have also toured both in Australia and internationally with artists such as RUFUS, Miami Horror and SAFIA. As an independent act, the band have been championed by global tastemakers including triple j, The Sound You Need, Indie Shuffle and The Line of Best Fit, and attracted the attention of LA-based producer Galimatias who’s remix/collaboration on Tora track ‘Jaigantic’ has since clocked up over 15 million streams online.

If your music was a person, what would their personality be like? Do you have any character that comes to mind?

A humble companion that will take you on a journey between intimate lyrical layers, passionate expression and won’t be afraid to get down.

What’s the plan for 2018?

We spent the beginning of the year focusing on writing new tracks and developing. New music will be dropping before the end of the year, so keep an ear out for the new tunes.

What’s on your music bucket list?

To maintain integrity in our art and continue releasing music that we truly feel passionate about.

If you had to choose an album title as a quote to live by, which one would it be and why?

Why do you use Audiofly IEMs?
When we made the first step to IEMs, we used these super cheap ear buds that didn’t really cut it. Once we started using Audiofly, we never looked back and now they are an integral part of the Tora live set.
